.Long Range Group

[trealtree]

I decided to shoot a long range 10 shot group. I found out this gun can shoot way better than I can.

Benjamin Marauder .22cal 2500 PSI 55 yds 10 shot string. Crosman Premier 14.3 gr pellet.

Man that thing is tight shooting!! Have ya had a chance to run it over the chrony yet Trealtree? Great report!

 

[trealtree]

I dont have a chrony. But the test report I got from the factory shows a 10 shot string at 2000 psi ranging from 842 fps to 856fps. After I learn the gun I will tune it up to a little over 900 fps. It will tune up to 1000 fps, But I have heard it is most accurate around 900fps.

I was shooting it through 3/4 in plywood @ 20 yds ... There goes my backstop.

Nice groups, how quiet is it?

Its hard to explain how quiet it is. You basically just hear the impact of the bullet hitting what you are shooting.

Is this an air rifle...

I have an RWS model 54 that shoots 1100 fps with one chocolate chip cookie of the lever. and I use it squirrel hunting and will drop them dead from the highest part of the tree. I have plucked many a black bird with it at 40 yds. I won it in a fishing tournament years ago. I noticed they sell for around $700 now!It is not your old DAISY BB gun for sure!

I have a mod 54 in .177 cal. I like it pretty well, it just seems too loud for hunting now that I have a marauder.

Is the barrel rifled? Or smooth bore?

 

[trealtree]

rifled and choked

 

[ShaneHallum]

interesting.... I've never shot a "new model" air gun.

Does the price of them justify compared to a .22 rimfire?


amazing groups by the way!
